Re: If there was a fire, what DVD's would you grab?
If my place was on fire I wouldn't be worrying about grabbing DVDs, I'd be grabbing for one or 2 of the external HDDs which have EVERYTHING backed on them - 20 years of photos, 30 years of documents and spreadsheets and so on. There are no movies backed up on HDD though.

I wonder if all the people who answered this a few years ago have double-dipped those titles onto Blu-ray and if they'd save those, instead. 
We have hundreds of DVDs and Blu-rays and I can't think of a single one I would waste a moment grabbing in the event of a fire. But, in the spirit of the question being which one do I have the most fondness for, perhaps the Seinfeld set because it was so expensive. If I had the honest opportunity to grab any physical items without endangering my family or me, I have a few records and definitely my hard drives (I'm in the same boat as danwiz in terms of no movies, just all my documents, photos, etc. on them).

Assuming everything was already taken care of and I had a little time before flames engulfed my house, I'd grab my LOTR: Extended Editions boxset, The Hobbit (Part 1), and The Odyssey (OOP) first, then my Stargate SG-1/Atlantis collection, B5 collection X-Files collection, and as many others as I could grab, time permitting.
Come to think of it I should have a box I could grab quickly with all my favorites already in it, sitting by the door in case of emergency...
Yeah...maybe, if I was fucking loopy...

Hey Layziebones, I realize it's been a few years but if you happen to pop in here, how'd you make out? I hope everyone's OK...
